Embedded Firmware Engineer

Join Electric Hydrogen as an Embedded Firmware Engineer, where you will develop real-time firmware for power electronics and auxiliary electronics. You will work across the full embedded development lifecycle, collaborating with various engineering teams to create reliable embedded solutions. Responsibilities include low-level firmware development, board bring-up, debugging, testing, and code optimization. You will also implement control algorithms, design communication protocols, and troubleshoot firmware and hardware interactions. This position offers generous healthcare, unlimited PTO, location flexibility, and more.

• Develop and debug low-level, real-time, low-latency firmware in C, including board bring-up, debugging, testing, and code optimization.
• Collaborate with electrical, power electronics, controls, and systems engineers throughout product development and testing to develop reliable embedded solutions.
• Write and maintain software specifications, design documentation, and technical documentation, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

• Experience with communication protocols such as CAN, Modbus, and Ethernet
• For mid-level candidates, 3+ years of professional firmware or embedded software development experience; strong academic, project, or internship experience in embedded systems will be considered for junior-level candidates
• Experience developing device drivers using hardware interfaces such as ADC, GPIO, PWM, UART, SPI, and I2C
• Experience developing low-level embedded firmware in C
• Experience with embedded systems development tools, including compilers, debuggers, and IDEs
• Hands-on experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and similar laboratory equipment
• Knowledge of the design and implementation of power electronics control loops is a plus
• Experience with version control and issue-tracking tools such as Git and Jira
• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Basic knowledge of Linux environments is a plus, particularly for development toolchains, GUIs, build systems, logging, and testing tools
• Knowledge of automated build systems is a plus
